My recent visits to Café Chatterbox have been quite
worthwhile, considering the quality of food they serve and the cozy ambiance to
enjoy with. Most are aware of Pie in the Sky which is one of the most renowned names
when we think about bakeries; Café Chatterbox is an extension of this and more
of a concentric diversification and one which is rightly done indeed.

It’s now beginning to become a ritual to assume this as a
meeting spot for me and my friends. I like the brick walls around, and the
cerulean blue crockery that compliments the brand’s corporate colour, amidst
the old-fashioned setup, with cutlery served in aluminium buckets. I am a fan
of anything vintage so whatever resonates with being vintage themed, that’s the
place for me.

As for starters, their Nachos are highly recommended, we just wanted to have more and more of it.

Since I am a burger person, I order burgers everywhere I go,
despite always telling myself to step out of my burger comfort zone but to no
avail. The American Style Burger was so good that I had forgotten to snap its
picture until I realised that I was done with half of the mighty deliciousness.

Café Chatterbox’s menu card had quotes by various authors
which add to the intellect of the mind behind the entire set-up and design. “If
more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a
merrier world.” By J.R.R. Tolkien adorned the page for wraps and quesadillas
among others. And as I write, I get hungrier imagining their menu and the
hospitality we have been treated with, go further down and you’ll know why I am
saying this.

I’m not a soup person or you can say that I would only go
for soupy dishes if there is rice along with those dishes. But the ‘Fettuccine
pasta with chicken in a light creamy sauce’ is something that would take your
taste buds to the next level. *drools again*

The ‘Garlic Rice Bowl’ is another delight that my food
consultant (that’s the title I have given to my friend) had. It’s served with
spicy beef, pickled green beans, and fried egg. The egg yolk is what he left
out and I would have done the same because although it looks great but I don’t remember
the last time I had a fried egg since I’m not too fond of it (It’s my opinion,
however, I’m sure some people would love the idea of having a fried egg topped
serving). This dish would haunt you in your dreams until you finally decide to
visit Café Chatterbox again and eat it all away because it’s that good.

I don’t remember the title of this particular dish but it
had a Thai touch and was so wholesome that it’s more than enough for one person;
actually it’s sufficient for two.

Some of us friends had visited Café Chatterbox again to
celebrate our friend’s birthday, so after getting done with the savoury meal,
we decided to place an order for a slice of walnut cake with a candle. To our
surprise, the waiter got us that slice that we had asked for along with a
humongous slice of mouthwatering, chocolate cake slice which according to him
was from the café to wish him a happy birthday … entirely complimentary! That’s
where the hospitality part comes in! And I am amazed, it’s not that we had our
names etched on their walls as regular customers but I’m truly moved by their
wonderful gesture.

And then an interesting, yet a funny thing happened, the café
played a birthday themed music that made him feel more conscious and red too
(laughing again as I write), there seemed to be an entire department of a bank
next to us that sang along.

This is what café Chatterbox got us.

This is the walnut cake we had asked for (to be honest, this
was good but we liked the free cake more! :))

Their food is absolute love! I can’t wait to grab one of
their corners with coffee and food again … and I’m visiting soon for sure! You
should too!
